    Gloves for the squeeze?

    Chemical Rubber Gloves from Lowes: They are thick enough to give you some heat insulation, but will get hot if you 'play' too long...but they are nice and cheap. http://www.lowes.com/pd_184258-94953-LW13500/L_0__ http://www.lowes.com/pd_335908-98-90021_0__ Otherwise, pay a little more for...

    Keeping open packages of whole leaf hops for dry hopping

    I only cut a corner off of the package to get out what I need, then fold a piece of duct tape over the opening to make it airtight again. Sure it would be better to flush with CO2 or Nitrogen, but I don't have that capability. I figure the original foil pack is more resilient than...

    Low carbonation :(

    Is the final result tasting pretty 'normal' or is it tasting sweet, suggesting the priming sugar is not being fully utilized. What type of beer and how long from completing fermentation to bottling? could be weak yeast not able to attenuate all the priming sugar and not giving you full...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    First, don't listen to Johns, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Second, you need a power supply that matches the VOLTAGE (DC power supply) of the pump. The tan one's power requirements listed on ebay is "Rated voltage: 12V DC. Rated current: 0.8A." You need to match the voltage and...

    chores and beer

    Anyone else find household chores. Like fixing things, cleaning the garage, etc., generally easier and more enjoyable whilst drinking some homebrew? I just fixed a toilet in my less than 1 year old newly built home and realize I have a lot to owe to my homebrew for motivation in completing much...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    Ordered 3/22, received 4/1. Not too bad from abroad. It was only wrapped in bubble wrap and in a big envelope, but seemed to arrive intact. Unfortunately I don't have a setup to use to test, so I still don't know how well or if it works. Got my fingers crossed all goes well.

    Cheap compact wort pump

    I received my tan ebay pump yesterday. Small is an understatement. I just can't get over how tiny this thing is. I was also surprised by the material its made out of. I was expecting a regular plastic that is cheap and semi-soft feeling, like most of the goods coming from china, but the material...

    rehydration yeast on running stirplate?

    Well, while I'm not sure if it caused any damage, I have a pretty vigorous fermentation going 24 hours after pitching. Guess I need to have a homebrew and relax...:-) I'll report back if I get any off flavors. Fermenting at 65 degrees.

    rehydration yeast on running stirplate?

    So I went to make a starter with my homemade stir plate. I used tap water and some malta goya and had the stir plate turned on to bring everything to room temp and drive off the CO2 from the malta goya. Without thinking, I just dumped my dry yeast into the mix with the stir plate running. It had...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    Actually, I'm trying to make my build 1 pot portable, so no permanent stand. I think I'm going to end up not mounting direct on the valve, but instead mount inside a crate or bucket to protect the pump... I just don't see a way around it. I was trying to think of a way to mount it right on the...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    Just placed my order for the tan one. The only reservation I have is the sturdiness of the plastic. Does anyone that has this have any reservation attaching it in line on your ball valve as I see most of them are? I am using it for Re-circulation BIAB and am hoping it will take the weight of the...
